careerValentino became interested in fashion while in primary school in his native Voghera, Lombardy, northern Italy, when he apprenticed under his aunt Rosa and local designer Ernestina Salvadeo, a noted artist Aldo Giorgini aunt. Valentino then moved to Paris to pursue this interest with the help of his mother Teresa de Biaggi and his father Mauro Garavani. There he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. His first choice for an internship, in Paris, was Jacques Fath, then Balenciaga. She found an internship with Jean Desses where she helped style icon countess Jacqueline de Ribes sketch her dress ideas. He then joined Guy Laroche for 2 years. In Jean Desses, Valentino sketched angry, between helping with window dressing and greeting clients for private performances 2:30 pm daily. Most of the initial sketch gone. However, at an exhibition in Rome in 1991, a handful of them on display and then-when clients such as Marie-Hélène de Rothschild and Elizabeth Taylor marveled that the DNA of Valentino's style is evident in the folds of a white layer and animal prints.

After five years, Valentino left Jean Desses the incident about extending the holiday in Saint-Tropez that still makes him uncomfortable at the moment. Rescued by his friend Guy Laroche, he joined a "small, small" his fashion house. After a discussion with his parents, he decided to return to Italy and set up in Rome in 1959.

resignation

It was, however, somewhat marred by his criticism of fellow Italian design duo Dolce & Gabbana, and the death of Australian actor Heath Ledger although few allowed these things to detract from the final show, which received a standing ovation from the entire audience including hundreds of major brands from all areas of show business. Many models returned to show for Valentino's last haute couture show, including Eva Herzigova, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Nadja Auermann, Karolina Kurkova and Karen Mulder.
